What we need is an experienced hand who has handled this country before – Mahama

Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) NDC John Dramani Mahama has told Ghanaians to vote for him because he has the experience to govern this country better.

He says what Ghanaians need is an experienced hand who has handled this country before.

To that end, he has asked Ghanains to to reject any attempt by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to induce them with money to vote for them.

He asked Ghanaians to remember the suffering that they have endured over the past 8 years and vote against the governing party.

“Before the election, they will come with plenty of money, when they come, I beg you, take your thing back. But on the day when you go to the ballot box, remember the eight years of suffering, remember the eight years of hunger, remember the eight years of poverty and vote for the government and the president that will come and turn this nation around.

“In 2016, they said, oh try me and if in four years I don’t do well, you can vote me out. The same thing Jack Toronto’s younger brother is saying. He too says, try me, and after four years, if I don’t do well, you can vote me out but the youth of this country do not have the time to try anybody again.

“What we need is an experienced hand who has handled this country before and whose work we have seen. And so we are not going to try anybody. We are going back to experience, we are going back to expertise to turn our country around so that our youth can have a brighter future,” he said in his address at a community engagement in Juapong in the Volta Region on Tuesday August 13.
